Check for identifier first and bail if it's missing (also remove the current identifier check after we've already bailed due to missing identifiers)
If a driver is missing, warn but also say that we may have added this device already. I see too many bugreports with incorrectly shortened log files. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutte...@who-t.net> --- helpful as people think they are, posting a cut-down log with only the error about mouse0 not beeing added (despite the success messages for the matching event file) is too common. Here's me hoping that that note may make people look twice at what they're cutting out of the log. hw/xfree86/common/xf86Xinput.c | 11 ++++++----- 1 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Xinput.c b/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Xinput.c index 280a6ec..fd40f28 100644 --- a/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Xinput.c +++ b/hw/xfree86/common/xf86Xinput.c @@ -970,15 +970,16 @@ NewInputDeviceRequest (InputOption *options, InputAttributes *attrs, pInfo->attrs = DuplicateInputAttributes(attrs); } - if (!pInfo->driver || !pInfo->name) { - xf86Msg(X_INFO, "No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)\n"); + if (!pInfo->name) { + xf86Msg(X_INFO, "No identifier specified, ignoring this device.\n"); rval = BadRequest; goto unwind; } - if (!pInfo->name) { - xf86Msg(X_ERROR, "No device identifier specified (ignoring)\n"); - rval = BadMatch; + if (!pInfo->driver) { + xf86Msg(X_INFO, "No input driver specified, ignoring this device.\n"); + xf86Msg(X_INFO, "This device may have been added with another device file.\n"); + rval = BadRequest; goto unwind; } -- 1.7.7.4 _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
